We had a very happy Halloween this year, but first I have to show you some pictures of Cecily. On 10/26, 4 months old, she rolled over back to front and started eating solid foods. She's growing up so quickly!
We had lots of fun decorating the pumpkins we got at the pumpkin patch this year. Alayna said she was a princess and princesses don't touch yucky things, so
she refused to help me clean out any of the pumpkin guts! But I let her decide how we would carve each of the pumpkins and she said she wanted a happy pumpkin, a scared one, and a ghost one. I, of course, did the carving, while she decorated her littlest pumpkin with markers. She did a really good job of drawing a face on it. And she helped me put these little spiders on our small scared pumpkin.
Halloween is Alayna's most favorite holiday because she loves dressing up and she loves all of the scary things - she doesn't get scared one bit. She was a "good witch" and was going around everywhere saying "hee hee hee!" and Cecily was a sweet little flower. We went trick-or-treating downtown at all of the little shops, which was a madhouse, super cold & windy, but fun. We also went around our neighborhood on Halloween night.
